Very pale colour, almost watery when poured. Pale light red with slight garnet tinges. Reasonable nose. Initially quite thin and acidic on palate. Took on more weight with air. At a good intermediate stage with initial fruit faded but full spectrum of secondary aromas not yet fully developed. Drunk a little soon after opening - would have benefited from another half hour or so to flesh out further. Not at all bad, but on the light side and suffering a little for pasterisation as per the Latour style. Elegant, reasonably long. Not overly complex but enough to hold ones interest, especially with food.
